Coordination:
Crisis Management:
A comprehensive approach and activities to reduce the negative impacts of the crisis.
The disaster:
A serious disruption that impedes the local community or society as a whole from performing its functions, resulting in extensive human, physical, economic or environmental losses, and to the degree that the affected community is able to cope with the effects of such disruption on the basis of its own resources.
Disaster Risk Reduction:
Actions to reduce disaster risks and natural risk impacts through systematic disaster risk analysis and management efforts, including through risk avoidance, reduced socio-economic vulnerability to hazards, and improved preparedness for adverse events.
Early Recovery:
A multidimensional recovery process that begins with human conditions. It is an integrated and coordinated approach, using humanitarian mechanisms, to gradually transform the benefits of humanitarian activities into a sustainable recovery from the crisis, to build resilience to crises and to provide development opportunities.
Emergency Response:
Immediate assistance to victims of crises and armed conflicts to enable them to survive. Most responses begin after a short notice period and their implementation period is short (usually completed within one year). The main objective of the emergency response is to save lives.
Good practice:
It is an effective, innovative, and inspirational way to perform a task, and it is possible to transfer it in whole or in part for application in other situations, places or contexts.
implementation:
is the process of implementing a decision via implementing the job agreed upon
Lessons learned:
results that can be generalized beyond the specific case. It could include more relevant lessons in the situation of the country concerned, the organization, the Government, the international community, or all persons.
Monitoring:
A system that allows continuous monitoring, measurement and evaluation of the progress of a process or phenomenon in order to take corrective action.
Multi-stakeholder:
A participatory approach involving those affected by policy or intervention, and its participants, in particular the proposed beneficiaries, are closely involved in the process of identifying problems and priorities and have good control over analysis, planning, implementation and monitoring of solutions.
Planning:
An organized way of thinking about activities and goals in advance. The project is a proposed or preliminary plan, usually detailed and extensive.
Readiness:
Capacity and knowledge developed by governments, professional response organizations, communities and individuals to prepare for and respond effectively to the impact of ongoing, imminent or likely events or circumstances.
Prevention:
Activities to avoid the negative impacts of hazards and means to reduce social, environmental, technological and biological disasters associated with those hazards.
Policy:
A firm or proposed principle or course of action to guide the activities and decisions of the concerned authorities.
Strategy:
A deliberate plan to achieve political or large goals, often over a long period of time. The strategy is a bridge between those objectives and the concrete methods or actions used.
Law:
A framework with a general mandate that defines the responsibilities, authorities and lines of accountability of the state, the public, NGOs, and citizens in a specific context.
Disaster Risks:
Risk The potential loss of life, health status, livelihoods, property and services that may be caused by a community and collected by disaster in a specific future period.
Risk( and collectively risks):
A Phenomenon, material, human activity or dangerous circumstances that could lead to loss of life, injury or other health effects, damage to property, loss of livelihood, services, economic or social disruption, or environmental damage.
Disaster risk management :
The methodological process that enhances the capacity to address and respond to disasters within available resources to mitigate the negative impacts of risks using the administrative directives, regulatory procedures, skills and practical capacities required to implement these strategies and policies.
Disaster risk reduction:
The concept and practices needed to reduce the risk of disasters through systematic efforts to control the factors that cause disasters, including reducing vulnerability and reducing human and property vulnerability, some of it wise management of land and environment, and improved preparedness for adverse events.
Early warning system :
A set of systematic capabilities to anticipate disasters, and to develop and disseminate timely, understandable and understandable warning information to the public to enable people, communities and organizations at risk to prepare and act appropriately and in sufficient time to reduce damage and loss.
Emergency Management:
Organization and management of resources, and responsibilities to deal with all aspects of emergencies, particularly during the preparedness and response phases and the initial steps of recovery.
Preparedness :
Knowledge and capabilities developed by governments, communities, individuals and organizations concerned to anticipate, respond and recover effectively the potential, imminent or existing effects of hazardous accidents and conditions.
Response:
Provide emergency services and civil assistance during and immediately after the disaster to protect lives, minimize health impacts, ensure public safety and meet the basic needs of those affected.
Recovery:
Where necessary, the facilities, livelihoods and living conditions of the affected communities, including efforts to reduce disaster risk factors and take advantage of lessons learned at the time of the disaster.
Mitigation:
Reduce or reduce the negative impacts of hazards and related disasters.
Risk and collected risks:
The outcome of the event and the negative consequences associated with it.
Natural hazards:
Natural process or phenomenon that may cause loss of life, injury, health, loss of livelihood, services, social or economic disruption, or environmental damage.
Public awareness:
The extent of common knowledge and public awareness about disaster risk and factors that lead to them, and actions that may individually or collectively take to reduce exposure to hazards and vulnerability.
Risk assessment:
Methodology for determining the nature and level of risk and prioritization by analyzing potential hazards and assessing current conditions of vulnerability, which together may cause damage to individuals, property, services, livelihoods and the environment on which they depend.
Sustainable Development:
Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
Weakness (vulnerability):
Characteristics and conditions of the community, system or property that make them vulnerable and vulnerable to hazards.
Building codes:
A set of rules and regulations, and the following specifications, to control the facilities in terms of design, construction, building materials, and alteration of buildings, in order to achieve human safety and wellbeing, as well as the resistance of installations to damage and breakdown taking into account geographical location and potential risks .
Capacity:
Combine all potentials and attributes, of strength and resources available (human and material) to society, groups or organizations, which can be utilized to achieve the desired goals.
Building abilities:
The systematic process by which people, organizations and societies mobilize and develop their human, physical and institutional capacities over time, in order to achieve their social and economic objectives, including improving the level of knowledge, skills, systems, institutions and provision of supplies.
Climate change:
Climate change can be diagnosed (using statistical tests, for example) through changes in the arithmetic mean and / or variability of its characteristics, which persist for long periods of time that may last decades or longer. Climate change can occur as a result of natural factors and external factors Continuous or as a result of persistent changes in the composition of the atmosphere due to human activities or as a result of land use. Climate change may lead to changes in the environment and in the pattern of natural phenomena, which has implications for populations.
Critical Facilities:
The main facilities, technical facilities, infrastructure and systems of social, economic and practical importance for the functional performance of communities or communities, which must continue to operate in normal or emergency situations.
Environmental Impact Assessment:
A process in which the environmental consequences of a program or project proposal are evaluated. This assessment is taken into account in the planning and decision-making processes and is intended to reduce the negative impacts of projects and proposed programs on the environment.
